that she might aid her father in the
support of the family. Daily she
dispatched the duties assigned
her, and out OF Office hours
applied herself diligently to the
acquisition of knowledge, mastering,
almost unaided, French and Italian
and other studies. Ere long a distin-
guished head of a bureau of one OF
the departments wooed and won her.
For a long time during President

nent in society. After q while her
husband died, and she removed to e.
great metropolis, but her beauty and
accomplishments we're not destinedt to
be forever clustered with grief, One
even higher on the roll of official posi-
ton sought her out, and to-day she is
the much-admirod and lovely wife Of
an Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court. And here in the same city,
where, when but a lass in her teens,
she carved out her fortune, aided on
ly by her own genius and brains, she
is destined TO reign as a queen to whom
all will be proud to pay homage.

TAKE THE SUNNY SIDE.

Let's oftener talk OF nubler deeds
And rarcr OF the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
And not about onr sad ones.
We are not made to fret and sigh
And when grief sleeps to wake it
Bright happiness is standing by,
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side OF men
Or be believers in it;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it.
Oh! there is slumbering good in all,
And we, perchance, may wake it;
Our hands contain the magic wand;
This life is what we make it.
Then here's those whose loving hearts
Shed light and Joy about tnem!
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We ne'er had known without theml
Oh! this should be a happy world
To all who may partake it;
The faults our own il it is not
This life is what we make 1t.

Twice Defed Death.

Atlanta Constitution.
~ have been twice prepared for
burial. My right arm was shot of
and a shell took OF a large slice Of my
chin and knocked outfivefront teeth"
exclaimed an ex-coltederate veteran
recently.
The speaker was during the war an
orderly sergeant in the Third Georgia
regiment. He had just returned from
New Orleans, where he attended the
Mardi Gras festivities, and was on
his way home in Wilkes county. Ar
irving in Atlanta he missed train con
nection, and was compelled to stop
over. The thought of his pension oc.
cGredto him, and he walked into Cover
nor Gordon's Office about 5'oclock. The
veteran presented himself to Captain
Harrison, tho popular and genial
clerk of the executive department, and
showed that functionary his creden-
tials. They proved to be correct, and
q warrant was given him on the trea-
surer for forty dollars.
Eyes, / saw some pretty tough light
ing during the war, /" continued the one
armed veteran, "and had many hair

hand. o-hand conflict with a yank at

ready for burial when / awoke and

error. My sister had been previously
advised of my death and she went in
to mourning.
"My second perilous adventure was
at the battle OF Spottsylvania. I had
been offered the captaincy Of the COM
pany but declined, having a much bet
ter position. Well, as it happened,
the captain had been killed, and took
the lead. We found our path OBJ
structed by a line of federals, the lead-
er OF which picked me out as a target.
His aim was unerring, for my right
arm was shattered from the elbow
down by three minnie balls. l felt
